This program offers advanced study in Modern Languages (Russian and Spanish) and English, focusing on research-driven learning where students explore how knowledge evolves and advances. Participants will develop skills in independent study, fostering curiosity, precision, and academic excellence. Spanning 48 months, it leads to a Master of Arts (Honours) degree. Like all St Andrews programs, it consists of credit-based modules, requiring 480 credits total (typically 120 per year). The initial two years combine mandatory program-specific courses with elective options, sometimes from other faculties. The final years emphasize specialized, research-oriented coursework tailored to the program. The first two years blend core subjects with diverse electives (potentially from other departments), while the later stages focus on advanced, discipline-specific research modules.
